Laravel User Activity Log

yungts97/laravel-user-activity-log is a package for Laravel 8.x that provides easy to use features to log the activities of the users of your Laravel app. It provides automatic logging for the model events without complicated action. All activity will be stored in the logs table.

📦 Environment Requirements

PHP: ^8.0

Laravel: ^8.x - ^9.0

🚀 Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require yungts97/laravel-user-activity-log

The package will automatically register a service provider.

After that, we still need one more step to complete the installation by run this command.

php artisan user-activity-log:install

✨ How to use?

This package is very simple and easy to use. The only thing you need to do is add the Loggable trait in your model class.

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Yungts97\LaravelUserActivityLog\Traits\Loggable;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Loggable; // add it in here
    ...
}

It might troublesome if you have a lot of models. You could have a base class for your models and add Loggable trait in your base model.

# BaseModel.php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Yungts97\LaravelUserActivityLog\Traits\Loggable;

class BaseModel extends Model
{
    use Loggable;
}

# PostModel.php
class Post extends BaseModel
{
    ...
}

If you don't want to log for any child class of the base model, you can add SkipLogging trait to skip the log for the model.

use Yungts97\LaravelUserActivityLog\Traits\SkipLogging;

class Post extends BaseModel
{
    use SkipLogging;
    ...
}

Sometimes, you don't want to save certain attributes of your model in logging. You can add $log_hidden attribute to your model.

use Yungts97\LaravelUserActivityLog\Traits\SkipLogging;

class Post extends BaseModel
{
    public $log_hidden = ['created_at', 'description'];
    ...
}

You can retrieve all activity using the Yungts97\LaravelUserActivityLog\Models\Log model.

Log::all();

However, you can get activity logs from a model by using this.

$post->logs; // get all model's logs
$post->log; // get the latest model's log
$post->logs()->where('log_type', 'edit')->get(); // get filtered logs

You allowed to specify the mode for the edit event log. There are two modes available now simple/full. The default mode is full.

# config/user-activity-log.php

# only can choose either one of them
'mode' => 'full',   # the 'full' mode record everything
'mode' => 'simple', # the 'simple' mode only record the modified columns

⚙️ Configuration
